Metal videos are just ridiculous!

[abyssofdreams]

And I mean in a really, really BAD way...omg.
And it's mostly the "acting" and faces bandmembers do.

E.g. take "My apocalypse" from Arch Enemy. Fucking epic video, awesome editing and production and I'd give it a 10 if it wasn't for the hilarious gansta style posing of Angela...uke:

Any videos you'd give the tag "perfect"?
It's easy to name videos that are shitty but hard to find the good ones.
I'm not talking about the music here but the video and how it translates.

HIT ME!

 

[The-Zeronaut]

i really like this one
Evergrey - A touch of blessing

 

[Chryst Krispies]

The Black Dahlia Murder's later videos are perfect to me.

This one is funny here







But you´re damn right..the most videos are crap.

 

[PhilR]

This is a band we've been recording periodically for a while.
They're genuinely proud of this video...

I hate the shaking effect they use (abuse) in videos anymore. The one they try to use to convey something heavy or brutal for a split second. Example would be that they've used it in In Flames and Children Of Bodom vids. It pisses me off.

 

[Notuern]

Liez!
Metalvideos are awesome:

 

[Chryst Krispies]

OH MY GOD.

KROKUS- SCREAMING IN THE NIGHT

WORST VIDEO EVER.


It's too much for the human race to handle.

No way:

[Allu83]

lol.. this reminds me one of my favourite metal vids..if you haven't seen this check this out!!! Probably they already knew that most metal videos sucks..

 

[abyssofdreams]

Ahahahaha! That Himsa video!

 

[Ermz]

In all seriousness, this one isn't too bad:

Hahaha! I dig this effect soo much. Perfect for this music, it really emphasizes the heaviness visually.

 

[Executioner213]

It is cheesy dildos! It emphasizes that they are trying too hard, IMO.

 

[FirstStrikeIsDeadly]

Hah, there is only ONE metal video out there, THE one and only even.

All credits to mr. Townsend:

Heh I think you guys need to stop generalising so much. I agree with what you're saying but hey, not all metal videos reek of poseurism.

Proof:
